The Leader and the Family (L12)

Katharine Hill explores the biblical perspective of managing family and ministry in this booklet, giving excellent insight into how leaders can effectively balance the two.

Achieving a balance between work and family is a challenge for any working parent, but can be especially difficult for those experiencing the unique demands of Christian ministry.

Factors such as living family life in the goldfish bowl of tied accommodation, or the extra scrutiny received by the minister's children, can each take their toll. This helpful guide takes an honest look at both the negative and positive aspects of being a church leader, setting out a biblical framework for managing the pressures and celebrating the benefits.

The Grove Leadership Series is a partnership between CPAS and Grove Books, offering fresh thinking and ideas to ensure the difference leadership makes is biblical, thoughtful and practical. Grove Booklets are fast moving explorations of Christian life and ministry: 'Not the last word ... but often the first'.
